Progress in micro-palaeonthology - Amber

Dear Friends
rummaging in a tool closet at home, today morning, came in my hands a casket containing pieces of amber I buyed in the past editions of the Mineralien Tage https://munichshow.com/ and Petrefacta http://www.fossilien-journal.de/cms/red/Petrefakta-HS.php . Good  micro-palaeontology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropaleontology subject for MS-01. The piece selected for study is Columbia Copal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copal  . Like a flash 1 Mio years back in the time, it superbly preserves and allow the vision of mosquitos and ants fixed in the last instant of their life. The images are Helicon Focus 6 Pyramid stacking of 10 or 20 single images under different illumination conditions. Please, have a look to these 1 Mio years old insects and tell me your opinion. In any case, before to buy amber for study try to be sure of your dealier because falsify amber is relatively easy.
Salutations
Giancarlo
